Please Stay Lyrics - Elvis Costello

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you 

Not to go but to stay in my arms 

Would you walk out the door 

Like you did once before 

This time be different 

Please stay don't go 

If I call out your name like a prayer 

Would you leave me alone with my tears 

Knowing I need you so 

Would you still turn and go 

This time be different in some way 

Don't go please stay

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You took me away from the rest of the world 

When you taught me to love you like this 

Now I hang my head when I think how you lied 

But I still can be saved by your kiss 

I loved you before I even knew your name 

I wanted to give you my heart 

But when you came back after leaving me one time 

Oh I knew, yes I knew that the heartaches would start 

Photos 

If I told you my life was a song 

That was written for you, you alone 

Would you hurt all my pride 

Oh, till I cry this time be different 

Please stay 

Oh, this time be different in some way 

Don't go please stay
